CUMULATIVE PORTFOLIO A performance score with critical commentary Curate a poem and a dramatic scene from the course. Create a coherent text-only or performed interpretation of each, compare an alternative, and defend your choices with the words and structure of the texts.

Portfolio workspace Choose your briefHigh-school scaffold College extension Produce two annotated scores with at least four explained cues each, a 500–700-word commentary and a revised version of one significant choice. A silent, written score satisfies the performance component.
Build it in stages Select a poem and a dramatic scene, and write a provisional interpretation of each before designing cues. Use at least two lesson workbenches to build eight explained performance cues. Annotate the metaphor lesson to practice testing a figurative claim. Assemble the scores in the portfolio draft, preserving source lines and distinguishing them from your added directions. Keep a baseline before revision. Seek specific feedback or conduct a labeled self-review: which words or actions support the interpretation, and what complicates it? Revise one choice and explain the tradeoff. Complete the unfamiliar performance task and audit the portfolio against the rubric. Public performance and audio recording are optional.

Textual grounding Still developing: Assigns a mood or biography without support.
Convincing evidence: Connects interpretive choices to specific images, language, lineation or dramatic action and acknowledges uncertainty.
Usable score Still developing: Uses vague directions such as “be sad” without observable choices.
Convincing evidence: Specifies pauses, emphasis or action clearly enough for another reader to try, including a silent reading alternative.
Interpretive coherence Still developing: Lists unrelated effects or treats every device as having a fixed meaning.
Convincing evidence: Explains how choices work together while accounting for details that complicate the reading.
Revision and alternatives Still developing: Treats the first performance as the only correct one.
Convincing evidence: Develops a plausible rival, revises a significant choice and explains what each version gains and loses.

REN: I already have. KAI: I meant until tomorrow. [REN moves the chair closer to the door.]” Create four cues supporting one interpretation, then revise one cue for a competing reading. Explain what the words and movement establish and what you cannot infer about the parcel or their relationship.

Assemble for review ○ Still needed — An artifact and saved transfer response for each of the 6 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 2 explained annotations drawn from 1 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 8 explained performance cues from 2 investigations ○ Still needed — At least 1 lesson revisions with different baseline/current drafts and commentary ○ Still needed — A portfolio draft and preserved comparison draft ○ Still needed — A revision commentary and rubric-based review ○ Still needed — A saved response to the unfamiliar project passage These checks establish that evidence is present. They do not assess its accuracy, originality or quality. Skipping alone does not satisfy evidence requirements; saved artifacts and transfer responses are checked independently.
